Workplace is Facebook’s version of an internal collaboration tool, like Asana or Slack. The service combines next-generation technology and simple features to transform communications, culture, and workflows for businesses of all kinds.

What is Workplace?

Workplace is available at two levels: Standard and Premium

Premium Service: This service provides access to integrations and several other features including single sign-on, IT monitoring tools, and APIs. Companies that are interested in using the premium Workplace can sign up at any time. Premium service charges $3 per-active-users-per-month. Therefore, if team members are not actively using the service, the company will not pay for it.

Standard Service: This service includes productivity features like video chat, instant messaging, mobile app, unlimited file storage space, and several more. Companies interested in using the standard Workplace will have to wait for an invite.
